I turn to Section 2.2.3's second claim, (FPe): that once pointillisme is rejected, perdurantism does not need persistence to supervene on temporally intrinsic facts, and (2): I will criticize the heterodox view of Tooley and others that we should reconstrue velocity so as to make it intrinsic; (Section 3.3). that the object exists at other times; and this has prompted a consensus that the perdurantist's reply to the rotating discs argument cannot appeal to different velocities (or (i): Velocity should be an intrinsic property of an object at a time that (together ./cache/work_oxir7j3sbreejl23kypamwx5re.pdf ./txt/work_oxir7j3sbreejl23kypamwx5re.txt
